Arthur Penrhyn Stanley (1815-1881) was a Biblical historian and was also considered the leading liberal theologian of his
day. After being appointed a Canon of Canterbury Cathedral in 1850 he was elected Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History
at the University of Oxford before becoming Dean of Westminster in 1863. During 1852 and 1853 Stanley travelled extensively
in Egypt and the Holy Land. In this book, published in 1856, Stanley describes in vivid detail the ancient monuments and sites
he visited, relating these locations to descriptions in the Old Testament and discussing the 'sacred geography' this creates.
His work was immensely popular, with this volume running into a fourth edition within a year of publication. It provides a
classic example of the combination of Biblical scholarship with historical literature which formed the basis of historical
scholarship on the ancient Near East in the late nineteenth century

"The Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, popularly known as Westminster Abbey, is a large, mainly Gothic church,
in the City of Westminster, London, located just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is the traditional place of
coronation and burial site for English, later British and later still (and currently) monarchs of the Commonwealth realms.
The abbey is a Royal Peculiar and briefly held the status of a cathedral from 1540 to 1550."--Wikipedia

"In "Beyond Fear," Bruce Schneier invites us to take a critical look at not just the threats to our security, but the ways
in which we're encouraged to think about security by law enforcement agencies, businesses of all shapes and sizes, and our
national governments and militaries. Schneier believes we all can and should be better security consumers, and that the trade-offs
we make in the name of security - in terms of cash outlays, taxes, inconvenience, and diminished freedoms - should be part
of an ongoing negotiation in our personal, professional, and civic lives, and the subject of an open and informed national
discussion.With a well-deserved reputation for original and sometimes iconoclastic thought, Schneier has a lot to say that
is provocative, counter-intuitive, and just plain good sense. He explains in detail, for example, why we need to design security
systems that don't just work well, but fail well, and why secrecy on the part of government often undermines security. A skeptic
of much that's promised by highly touted technologies like biometrics, Schneier is also a refreshingly positive, problem-solving
force in the often self-dramatizing and fear-mongering world of security pundits.Schneier helps the reader to understand the
issues at stake, and how to best come to one's own conclusions, including the vast infrastructure we already have in place,
and the vaster systems--some useful, others useless or worse--that we're being asked to submit to and pay for." --Publisher
